Most admirable and achievable goals, I would like to adopt them for my use.  All but one??  If you are able to strike the letter M from the alphabet, do you then become "Tea Sprocket" (I know there is an inside story and I may never understand it)

Some of my personal caching goals are (in no particular order):

1.  Have fun caching with friends
2.  Have fun caching with family
3.  Have fun caching with Cheyenne, T.A.G.D.
4.  Don't get hurt  (this includes broken bones, gouged eyeballs, massive contusions and/or severe blood loss, but _excludes_ piercings by cactus spines, blisters, minor scrapes, cuts and bruises.)
5.  Find a minimum of 8 caches each day I go caching. This is to maintain or improve my average of 7.7 finds per day (of days gone caching.)
6.  Lately, I try to avoid urban caches and lean toward the more rural and remote caches.
7.  Never search for a small or micro cache for more than 15 minutes.
8.  Log ALL of my DNF's!
9.  Don't obsess about the caches I didn't find.  There are plenty of caches out there to look for. I don't need to spend hours scouring some back alley for a cache smaller than my thumbnail.
10.  Introduce myself and be friendly to any new cachers I meet in the field.
11.  Co-host the best possible (but never the biggest) campout cache event that we can, with the resources we have.
12. When caching solo, try not to put myself in any dangerous situations that could result in serious damage to my vehicle or serious injury or death to myself (or both.)
13.  Always maintain a sense of humor.
14.  Have the letter "M" stricken from the alphabet.
